It looks pretty high end to me. On the buckle, Julia Child said if you don't tell your guests what's wrong with your food, they'll never notice. Same with belt hardware.

@HAYLEY996 If you don't have your notifications set to email you when someone responds to your posts, you can do so as follows: To enable email notifications when someone posts on your topics (like this one), you can visit https://leatherworker.net/forum/notifications/options/ then click "Mentions and My Content"and make sure the "Email" box is checked. We're finding that people miss responses to requests like this.

Maybe we should mention this to new users when we respond to their initial question.

Funny, I didn't really look at it other than the height of the hook and opener. It's been running a couple of years now. Maybe mine needs adjusting, too.

VID_2026-01-28-19-22-59-580.mp4 I'm not sure video of my 111w is going to be very instructive. It looks a lot like yours, only with more motion.

Because of the helical cut drive gear?

I'm glad we're moving forward on this one. When I get home tonight, if there's not some resolution on this, I'll go up and rotate through my similar machine.

Somewhere in your settings, you can set it up to email you notifications. I'll look later on today and maybe we need to make a post on how to fix that. Evidently it's not the default. EDIT: it's a simple matter to "fix" the notifications. Desktop Click on the drop down next to your User Name (Top/Right) Account Settings Other Settings | Notification Settings Mentions & My Content Click "Email"for both notifications Android Click Menu on top/right Account Settings Other Settings | Notification Settings Mentions & My Content Click "Email"for both notifications

I flipped this over to Leather Machinery. Let's see if we can get some action over here.

Hey, @JoDeeH13, I moved this over to the braiding sub forum. Let's see if we can get you some responses over here.

@OLDE WYLIE, Welcome aboard. I split you out into your own topic, rather than conflate your 20-2 issues with the other poster's 20-20 restoration. I turned your couple of shoutouts to a "tag", which will notify the users that you've mentioned them. I did the same thing to your user name so you got a heads up. Do that by typing the "@" symbol and start typing the users name. Then, select it from the drop down that appears. Good luck with your 20-2. Let me know if I can help you navigate the forum.

I went through this a couple of years back. Just a seeming few dollars more gets you a little more capability. Then, if you're at that level anyway, why not a little more money..? Such a slippery slope. Be interesting to find out where you land. 😃

@japty I moved you over to the Wanted section. i'd suggest starting with Toldedo Industrial. They're an advertiser here and enjoy an excellent reputation. 866-362-7397

I'd look under the left side of the bed, right about in the middle of the machine. I think there's a stitch regulator adjustment under there. Just a vague memory from a machine I remember looking at some time in the last few years. One of the big dogs will no doubt know right off the top of their head.

Thanks, @Einherj. The more of this that can be collected in one place, the better we all are.

Is it possible that between the slightly larger needle and the fabric point punching thru the sewn material that there isn't enough friction between the needle and vinyl to hold the thread down, so the loop can form consistently? @JukiFan, does the speed of sewing have any effect on how often it skips stitches?

I would say that the "right" people are going to be looking in the same place that everyone else is looking. Advertise here for a targeted audience, any leather guilds you happen to have in your area and then blanket your big classifieds. Craigslist, facebook marketplace and whatever else you have. In my rural area, the fb marketplace seems to be the hot place, then craigslist and then local publishers. In short, advertise everywhere and let the people find you.

I learned this from you quite some time ago. I wondered what that little wheel looking tool was all about. It does make a huge difference.

I'm about to head out the door but a couple of quick thoughts ... Sounds like it's hammering. Definitely needs cleaning and oiling internally. Especially the hook area. A dull needle could contribute to that sound. The slow start could also be related to lack of lubrication. But very often that slow start means the motor and/or foot controller need to be serviced. This is all easy stuff to do. I'll recommend going to you tube and looking up Andy Tube he has hundreds of videos, mostly on old Singers but it still applies. Also Vintage Sewing Machine Garage. I'll check in here later this evening and see if we have any updates from you. Oh, the stitching is probably a simple issue as well. It starts with cleaning, oiling, checking your thread path, using new thread and needles, things like that. It's all very Zen. Sit with the machine, go over all the parts of it, study how it works. Become One with the machine . Ommmm...

Could you just make a rough out version? I can't visualize if it's just an inside out mirror. Or finish it and sell it off. Some lefty GP100 owner will be happy.

I recall seeing that P-10 type setting somewhere. I think it was some kind of break in or run in thing. Seems like it would run intermittently like that until you shut it off. I think ...

Yeah, I thought that's how it looked. If the smaller pockets popped off, he could adapt it job to job. Of course, the upside to one unit is he'll never wonder where the hell that little pouch went to ... 😬

@pierre2171 I split this out into it's own topic so maybe we can get you some help. It looks like an interesting machine. EDIT: In fact, a search for 133k13 turned up a few hits. I'll leave you to sort through them. https://leatherworker.net/forum/search/?&q=133k13&search_and_or=or

Nah, you couldn't have bought one that nice. The only way that gets better for me is if the pouches are modular. It's one of those bespoke things you can afford to have because you're a leather worker.

She looks quite annoyed about it, too... I'm enjoying these cards you're doing. Thanks for posting them.
